What is ex-situ & in-situ conservation?

Question

Answer

Exsitu conservation refers to saving wildlife by providing a favourable environment outside its habitat whereas insitu conservation refers to conserving wildlife in its own natural habitat.

Answer

Ex situ is conserving the species alone outside its natural habitat and In situ involves conserving the entire surrounding of the organism without changing its habitat

Answer

Ex-situ refers to a conservation method where endangered species or ecosystems are removed from their natural habitats and placed in a controlled environment, such as a zoo, botanical garden, or captive breeding program. This method is used to protect and preserve species that are at risk of extinction due to habitat loss, climate change, or other human activities. Ex-situ conservation allows for the management and breeding of endangered species to increase their population and genetic diversity, which can then be reintroduced to their natural habitats.
